Mr Hesse went to great lengths to assist us, including enduring my multiple phone calls throughout the day. Each time we spoke, Mr Hesse was courteous and gracious. Not only did he provide me with the necessary information and documentation, but he did so sooner than promised.

Dear Steve & Kim: I developed the ‘coving’ method of design and was pleased to see you emulated it on the plan on your website. Typically when I see consultants use coving, they are not coved or anything resembling it, and my letter to them is to not equate the design to the term coving. Not only are you probably the first firm I’ve seen in 20 years actually getting the effect right, but you even have the graceful meandering walks that we prescribe! So, this is the first time I’ve ever written a firm to say: good job!
